The morning chill lingers across central Arkansas, where Little Rock starts the day near 37°F under overcast skies and a steady north breeze. The air feels crisp but quiet — the kind of early December calm that hints at winter’s approach without the bite of true arctic air just yet.
According to the National Weather Service in Little Rock, today will turn mostly sunny with highs around 46°F, followed by a clear and cold night with lows dipping to 31°F. Winds ease through the afternoon before turning south, setting up a steady warm-up through midweek.
By Tuesday and Wednesday, the region will feel more like late fall than early winter. Afternoon highs climb into the mid to upper 50s, with sunny skies and calm breezes expected both days. It’s a brief window of pleasant weather before another cool push late week, when highs slide back into the 40s and lows again flirt with the upper 20s by Saturday morning.
Meteorologists say the pattern remains dry and stable for now — good news for travelers and outdoor plans. Still, early morning frost may develop across shaded roads and rooftops, particularly in rural Pulaski and Saline counties.
